Chapter 173 Undercurrent
Looking at Uncle Six's resentment, Mo Zizai shrank his neck. Why did he feel that Uncle Six's life was worse than him when he was a child?
Just thinking that his father had lost all his family's fortune, Mo Zizai was a little angry and left a mess and left a mess, but he didn't keep any of his family's fortunes. He was so mean to be too cheating on his son.
"Forget it, I won't drink anymore, I'll go back, Uncle Six."
Not only did he get anything from this trip, he also led to an enemy, which made Mo Zizai a little depressed.
"Forget it, I'd better go back and upgrade the Golden Finger."
Mo Zizai sighed silently. In this cold world, only the golden fingers can bring him some warmth.
Oh, no, he has two little wives waiting for him. When he goes back to sleep, Xiaolu will be almost in a human state. Then he will call someone from the Yulin Army and join forces to kill this old thing!
...
Just when Mo Zizai returned to the palace from the clan mansion, Qian Min and Zhao Boyang secretly arranged personnel began to spread news in the market.
However, because they were concerned about Miu Naoji's suspicion, they did not send people to promote the news with great fanfare, but instead took a different approach and pretended to unintentionally spread the news to some women who like to chat together.
These women generally have a good family background and do not need to work on weekdays. Do they have any other ways of entertainment? So their favorite thing is to find people to chat. Usually, they spread the news the fastest.
Although they did not believe this news directly, they still planned to go to the rice shop to buy some rice, but after they arrived at the rice shop, they found that something seemed wrong.
"Qiao Niang, are there more people in the rice shop than usual?"
Li looked at the rice shop that was more lively than usual, and was a little surprised and subconsciously wanted to verify with his companions next to him.
"It seems to be a little more."
The woman, who was called Qiao Niang, carefully observed the rice shop and felt a little uneasy, "Are those people saying true?"
"No...can't."
Thinking of what those people said, Li was a little worried. Although she didn't know much, she also knew that if what those people said was true, it would be a big problem.
"Forget it, don't think so much. Maybe these words are not necessarily reported by these rice sellers."
Although he said this, Qiao Niang was also a little confused. She made up her mind and said, "Forget it, the rice price has not increased anyway. No matter what the situation is, it is absolutely correct to buy more rice first."
"Qiao Niang, you are right. As long as you have rice at home, you won't feel panic."
As they said that, they didn't care about that much and bought two dou of rice each and went back.
Li's husband's surname is Lou, and he is a carpenter. Because he is the third child, others call him Lou San on weekdays. Over time, not many people know his real name.
Lou San works in carpenter work in wealthy families. Logically speaking, he always comes back when it gets dark, but something happened to the wealthy family's family today, so he sent him back early.
Lou San, who had just stepped into the house, saw two new dou of rice added to his house at a glance. He immediately shouted with displeasure: "You spendthrifty girl, you buy so much rice at once, so you don't have any money!"
"Besides, don't our family still have a few buckets of stock? As for buying rice now?"
"Head, listen to me."
Li was sitting in the house with needlework. When he heard Lou San's scolding, he quickly came out and pulled Lou San mysteriously and said, "Boss, we heard a few rich masters outside today, saying that the prince had arrested all the big merchants in the city and killed all the owners of the business shops selling grain, saying that he wanted to transport all the grain in the capital to the three affected counties."
"Qiao Niang said that those people, the clothes on any of them are worth hundreds of taels. I thought they shouldn't be talking nonsense, so I was worried that the price of food would increase, so I bought a little more rice. Anyway, I bought two more dou, and we can finish eating it. Do you think this is the case?"
"Have you arrested all the merchants?"
When Lou San heard his wife's words, he suddenly became a little scared. The reason why he came back so early today was because the master's boss's boss was arrested. He originally thought that the boss had committed a crime, so he didn't take this matter to heart.
But now when he heard his wife say this, he was suddenly a little scared. If the grain from the capital was really transported to the three counties, what would the capital eat?
At this moment, Lou San didn't have to think too much. After explaining the matter to his wife a few words, he immediately went to the bed to get a bag of money, and then pushed a wheelbarrow straight to the rice shop without looking back.
Hearing Lou San’s explanation, Li suddenly felt a lot of worry in his heart, but then she thought of her good sister Qiao Niang, so she immediately went to Qiao Niang’s house and told the news to Qiao Niang and his wife.
Qiao Niang and Li were like sisters, so she naturally believed Li without reservation. Therefore, although she was still a little skeptical about the news, the couple did not hesitate at all, and immediately took some money and pushed the wheelbarrow to the rice shop.
Because of these people's patronage, the rice shop business was very hot for a while. The rice shop owner, who was unknown, was so happy that he couldn't even close his mouth when he saw this scene. Some of the more unscrupulous rice shop owners would even change to the price-raising brand when there were fewer people.
Seeing the price of grain rise, the people who came to buy it were even more stimulating. No one bargained at all, and they just loaded them into the car with big bags.
It was just because Qian Min and Zhao Boyang were afraid of being too arrogant, so there were not many people sent out to spread the news, so there were still a few people receiving the news. Although these people bought rice very well, because the number was not too large, it did not have much impact on the rice shop, so no one noticed this abnormal scene.
Even the secret spy of Yuzhiji, when he saw this scene, he just thought it was an ordinary rice and grain transaction and didn't take it seriously.
Therefore, a storm is gathering in the dark, with essentially no one noticed it.
After these families have enough rice, they will spread the news to their relatives and friends. When their relatives and friends have enough rice, they will then spread the news to other relatives and friends. The rumors made up based on facts and then spread them by word of mouth, and then they will become well-known "facts".
As long as no one comes out to refute the rumors in the early stage, the news that was fabricated will spread at an explosive speed and will soon sweep the whole city.
